I've been looking at upgrading my PC from a secondhand 2060 I got in early 2021 for cheap. Right now, Newegg has a sale event this week where all sorts of things can be purchased at 10% off, including new GPUs. I already kinda regret not looking into this when they were being bundled with Wukong.
Right now, they're still being bundled with Star Wars: Outlaws. Been over a month now. I have no idea when they'll next bundle their cards with a game I actually want. And Outlaws is a game I really don't want.
What would you guys think in this situation?
The Ryzen 7600 X worked perfectly fine out of the box. The Gigabyte motherboard did not. Ended up going with an ASRock.
That thing runs sooooo good. Though, my previous ASRock and Intel i7 7700k combo was perfectly fine and worked (and continues to work) perfectly fine. However, the motherboard had a 32GB RAM cap, and in order to get a board that supported 64GB of RAM I needed a whole new mobo + CPU combination. Hence the silliness of wasting time and money on the DOA board. Though I may end messing around with it later to see if I can get it work if I ever feel like building out a spare system.
